Abstract
The Vampire Diaries began life as a series of novels before being adapted into
a television series screened on the CW channel in the US and ITV2 in the UK.
This article explores how the show contributes to debates over genre and authorship within the context of the TV vampire via its status as a teen horror text. It also investigates how the show intersects with debates over quality television via
the involvement of teen-TV auteur Kevin Williamson. In exploring genre and
authorship, the article considers how The Vampire Diaries functions as a teen
drama and a TV vampire/horror text.
